Personal Care Insights, 19 October 2026, by Sabine Waldeck
An interview with David Vandevoort, pharmacist and cosmetic safety assessor, on which citral sell-through date applies under Regulation (EU) 2026/909 and what natural brands should prepare. The article is the publisher's; read it there. Our own working guide is citral in essential oils.
“The certificate is a good start for the compound. I would ask the supplier for the citral, geranial, and neral content of the compound, so the brand can do the calculation itself.”
